Titles of people involved – State cases are brought by prosecutors or district attorneys; federal cases are brought by United States Attorneys. State court trial judges have a range of titles, but federal judges are called district court judges.

Federal magistrate judges are used in federal cases to hear initial matters (such as pre-trial motions), but they do not usually decide cases.

The use of grand juries to charge defendants is not required by all states, but it is a requirement in federal felony cases unless the defendant waives the grand jury indictment.

States and the federal government have laws making certain acts illegal, and each jurisdiction is responsible for setting punishments for committing those crimes. A state may punish a certain crime more harshly than the federal government (or vice versa), but a defendant can be charged and convicted under both systems.

Answer:

A district court of the United States, is the right answer.

Explanation:

In the Federal Court system of the United States, a U.S. district court is a general trial court. The district-level courts file both the criminal and civil cases. Therefore, when an individual engages in a federal crime, he or she will most probably confront a U.S. district court first.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Excerpt from Chapter II. The
BARSIC [14]

Answer: Dr. Flint told the faithful old servant that, under existing circumstances, it was necessary she should be sold.

This line shows the hardships of slaves better than the alternatives. In it, it describes the cruel condition that slaves were subjected to: being publicly sold. It also shows that they were unable to make plans for their future. Moreover, the passage is particularly sad because of the broken promise the mistress had made to the slave, and the woman's inability to regain her freedom.
